After installing PostgreSQL on my Debian-12 machine, I typed 'postgres --version' and got this msg:

 bash: postgres: command not found

 

'psql --version', however, does work and gives me this message :

 

psql (PostgreSQL) 16.3 (Debian 16.3-1.pgdg120+1)

 

Obviously postgres is not in the path, but I don't know where the 'apt-get' installed it or why it did not add it to the path.

 

 Is there a way I can locate the installation directory?

 

 Thank in advance.

 

 

find / -name postgres

or

dpkg-query -L postgresql-16 | grep 'bin/postgres$'

You wouldn't normally invoke the server from the command line, so it doesn't need to be in anyone's path.
